Thinking of all my GP colleagues from
minority ethnic or international backgrounds delivering much needed care in all communities against the backdrop of this appalling violence criminality and racism I pray you stay safe. Remember our society really values you @rcgp_ni

Keep reading health experts (who are far removed from clinical work) say we need to keep people out of hospital.
Everybody needs hospital eventually.
We have just delayed it by 10/15 yrs due to new meds etc.

Well done to our clinical lead for Vasectomy Dr Joe Devlin. A superb example of how a service that was historically delivered in secondary care can be delivered more efficiently, more cost effective and more convenient for patients in primary care.
Excellent talk on vasectomy today from the senior clinical lead Dr Joe Devlin -a truly excellent service for patients @ni_gpecs @EasternGp @BMANI_GP thank you for great support from @MatthewOToole2 @DannyDonnelly1 @SineadMcL4Foyle engaging discussion on men and women’s health

Hear hear!
As a straightforward GP can I say well done to @J_Donaldson_MP . The pressure and the personal toll must be huge.
It won’t be easy, but let’s all work together to recover an NHS that we can be proud of, the opportunity is there.

Refer to memory services in the west! 1-2 yr waiting list. I thought yesterday that a good proportion of these people will probably die before diagnosis. Try arranging a care package without a diagnosis. New cutting edge treatments. We can’t get people diagnosed!!!
In NI the choice is simple, go on NHS list and wait many years, or go privately.
I have direct personal experience of this with a family member very recently, never mind being the referrer more often, and it is utterly disgraceful

So happy today that we will 🤞 see a return to government in NI, and an end to the ongoing stagnation in service delivery.
Political leadership can’t be easy and credit to the leaders.

Our plan to save general practice: With over 16 contract handbacks since January 2023, leaving GPs stretched and safety comprised. Practices need simplicity, safety and stability.

Very clever, educated and motivated young Doctors against an inept Government that have let us all down.
Well done and thank you for standing up for current and future generations of Doctors and patients.

ALT A letter to the health secretary Steve Barclay to confirm our strike action next week is going ahead. The full letter is available by following the link.
Solidarity with @GaryLineker. Just seems anti-Christian to me. These are real people, like you and me. I’ve seen them in my surgery. Nice people, horrific stories. Can’t help but feel for refugees.
